NHTSA complaint #11102544, filed 2018-06, 55,000 miles“We have had to replace the entire def system twice, replaced two knock sensors, had to replace the diesel partilec sensor, among many other time being the shop. This car has not ran right since we bought it. Now, everytime we start the car and begin to drive it, we get a warning about the stabiltrak not working, then powersteering goes out, and entire car shuts down and goes black when the car is powered off. This seems to be a very common issue within these vehicles.”
NHTSA complaint #11187064, filed 2019-03, 55,600 miles“There are gas and exhaust fumes in the cabin. The condition is intermittent and subtle. Three different GM shops have examined the car in 2018. One has witnessed the gas smell but noted they could not find the source. The other two stated they could not replicate the fumes. We first noted odors when the car was purchased in 2014 but we did not realize what they were. The condition has intensified raising our concerns. We have also began to make connection to health issues. Our family's health has been affected.”
